About

The theory of change underlying the work of the UK FoRB Forum is that diverse stakeholders committed to making common cause together on the basis of shared values can take action and leverage much more significant change than could any one body on its own.

The Forum is not aligned to any one organisation, religion or belief group. It is self-funded by a diverse group of stakeholder organisations, and any organisation can become a stakeholder provided it is aligned to the Forum’s aims.

Who

The UK FoRB Forum is comprised of over 70 stakeholder organisations, who fund the Forum through donations, and lead advocacy initiatives related to issues of common concern. If you would like your organisation to become a stakeholder please join us here.

The Forum is guided by a Steering Group which convenes between each stakeholder meeting. The Steering Group members serve in a personal capacity:

Mervyn Thomas CMG (Chair)

Rt Rev Philip Mounstephen (Founding Chairman)

Henrietta Blyth

Andrew Copson

Dr Jagbir Jhutti-Johal OBE

Laura Marks OBE

Dr Kishan Manocha

Dr Ewelina U. Ochab

Krish Raval OBE

Portia Berry-Kilby (APPG FoRB Representative)

The Steering Group is supported by a small secretariat provided by the Good Faith Partnership
